IFV ISOLATION FLAP VALVE
2Pages

HOERBIGER Safety Solutions Description The IEP Technologies range of passive isolation flap valves are low cost and reliable explosion isolation solutions which mitigate explosion propagation risks to upstream equipment. These passive isolation solutions are effective, self-actuating devices providing inlet explosion isolation to protected vessels handling combustible dusts such as dust collectors, cyclones, and other process equipment. Available models include the IFV and IFV-M isolation flap valve. The IFV version is 3rd party certified as a protective system according to EU directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX Directive) and is approved for isolation of dust explosions. The IFV-M has integrated monitoring of dust accumulation level in the valve body and the blade position which meets the requirements of OSHA Combustible Dust Directive, NFPA 654, and NFPA 69. The IFV and IFV-M both have a durable carbon steel valve body and a flap blade of high quality stainless steel alloy. The valve is designed to withstand high maximum reduced explosion pressures (Pred) listed in the specification section below. During operation the flap blade is held open by the process airflow, in case of an explosion the pressure front closes and locks the blade in place, mitigating the propagation of the flame and pressure to the upstream equipment. Available as an option is the IFV-M Interface Module, a PCB based system monitoring device designed for use with the IFV-M version of the flap valve. The Interface Module includes intrinsically safe barriers for monitoring the IFV-M sensors, provides for process interlock functions, and includes diagnostic and maintenance functions. The Interface Panel operates on either 120 or 230 VAC.

IEPti TECHNOLOGIES HOERBIGER Safety Solutions Application Wherever a passive explosion isolation device is suitable, the IEP Technologies flap valve series IFV offer a very cost effective solution to mitigate the risk of explosion propagation to connected equipment. When applying explosion protection methods such as venting or flameless venting it is also necessary to reduce the risk of explosion propagation between interconnected process vessels. Here the IFV valves offer an effective, self actuating explosion isolation to protected vessel handling combustible dusts. Typical applications...
